The <strong>Korkyra Baroque Festival</strong> is a recently-established international music festival. Now in its second year, it will run from 7-13 September 2013. Once again, the Festival will offer a rich baroque experience in impressive culture heritage venues on the island of Korčula. Seven concerts will be held over the course of seven days, in addition to a varied entertainment program and lectures related to baroque music.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The fascinating historical village of Trevi nel Lazio (Italy, Latium) will host the second edition of <strong>Trebantiqua, international early music festival</strong>, from July 20 to August 17. A series of 6 concerts with internationally acclaimed artists will be offered at both the Collegiate Curch of St. Maria Assunta, with the celebrated 1634 Bonifazi organ, and at the main hall of the Caetani Castle under the artistic direction of Giuseppe Schinaia.<br />
<br />
Trevi nel Lazio offers several tourist and art attractions all year round, but it is in the summer that it shows its most appealing side with a cooler climate in the luscious setting of the river Aniene&#39;s high valley, the various art events at the Caetani Castle, its narrow medieval streets of its tiny center and the other many points of interest of its territory.<br />
<br />
Trebantiqua this year provides the usual variety of concert programs, ranging from late renaissance to the mature baroque style of the XVIII century, with a large offer of instrument sounds, from flutes to violins, harp and natural trumpet, with a special attention to the majestic historical Bonifazi organ built in 1634. A special program is dedicated to women composers on August 4.</span></p>

&quot;It&#39;s nearly 10 years now since we moved our slot from June to May, the time when renewal of the natural world is in its fullest flow, and it is thoughts of that breath of spring that have inspired us to make &#39;Nature&#39; this year&#39;s theme. After all, it&#39;s a subject that would have been as close (if not closer) to anyone in the 17th or 18th centuries as it is to us today. It has to be one of the reasons behind the modern-day success of Vivaldi&#39;s <i>Four Seasons</i> (which we will be hearing here for the first time since 1990, as part of a unique &#39;Seasons Double Bill&#39;), and as long ago as the 1630s Milton recognised Nature&#39;s power over human temperament in two great pastoral poems, set to music a century later by Handel in the delightful oratorio we&#39;ve asked <span class="red_bold"><b>Paul McCreesh</b></span> to conduct on the opening night. ...</p>

The Christmas Oratorio, the St. John Passion and the Easter and Ascension Oratorios form together a grand oratorio project which must have been a highlight in the musical life of Leipzig in 1734/1735. On a total of three concert evenings, these scenes from the vita Christi will be presented in Bach’s unique musical realization. The oratorios will be directed by Trevor Pinnock and Sir John Eliot Gardiner. …
